A strong heroine, good supporting characters, a satisfying plot, well crafted atmosphere - this is a fine introduction to fairy fiction. It avoids the cutesy conventions and introduces a fairy world that is harsh and challenging.

Sure, the plot is a bit over the top, and driven by coincidence and conveniently timed discoveries, but that's pretty much to be expected at this reading level. What matters is that the reader can make a connection with Tanya, and then follow along with her adventures, which are surprising and cleverly presented.

So, if you are looking for a well-written younger reader's fairy adventure, this book is well worth considering.

A very good book. It's nice to see a different take on fairies or fey ) This is one of those books that keeps you turning the pages to find out what is happening. Very engaging and a must read for those who love fantastical stories of fairies. It has a nice dark edge to it with many secrets to uncover.
My daughter read this cover to cover in a weekend. She loved the series!
I really liked the book. fantastic world to delve into! really makes you think you're the main character! lifts you out of your own world. Never want to give too much away, but the 3rd book wraps it up very well. some books leave you wanting for more...this gives just the right amount. A great story. great for pre-teens all the way to adults. I like a good imagination w/in the plot. something you can aspire to..that you'd want to do! A must read for the summer or anytime!! A+
I loved 13 Treasures by Michelle Harrison! So much so, that I read it in one day even though it was nearly 400 pages long. If you take nothing else away from this review, please take away that this story is amazing. I loved it, and I can't wait for Sis to venture out of Judy Moody and Junie B Jones so that she can love this one too. Because I know that she will, love it I mean. It's just THAT good.
I've been staring at this page for days. Trying to decide what to say and not say in this review. I want to tell you enough that you WILL pick up this book. Without telling you so much that there is no need to. It's a fine line reviewers walk, and I hate it. Spoilers. To tell or not to tell? As a reader, I hate reading them, so as a book blogger - I hate including them. So here I sit, staring at a blank page, wondering what I can type here to make you pick up this series.
Lets start with the world Michelle Harrison has created. I loved it. So descriptive, and real. I could smell the dusty musk and old cat inside Elvesden Manor. I could feel the damp sticky thickness of the air in Hangman Wood. I didn't even have to close my eyes and try. It just felt that real. I loved, no - I absolutely loved, that the fairies in this story are not the sweet little Tinkerbell fairies. Brian Froud is one of my favorite illustrators, and his faeries are just amazing. Scary, and tricksie, and spiteful, and sarcastic, and... those are the faeries we find in this story. The world was amazing.
I said on Goodreads that I felt like I was reading Spiderwick, but with girls. I loved Spiderwick! Everything was magical and felt real.
For the characters, omgosh.
Tanya, the main character, a little girl who nobody "gets" (because she could see faeries) and because of it keeps getting shuffled around to give her mum a break. I so connected with her, right from page one. Heck, I was HER. No, I don't see faeries. But I was that kid that got shuffled around. That was me. So from page one, I got Tanya, and I cared for her.
Fabian, guh. He totally brought out the 13 year old girl in me. He got on my nerves, made me roll my eyes, and in the end made me cry. Stupid boys. =D
I loved Warwick. A) Warwick is the actor of one of my favorite movie characters of all time! WILLOW anyone?! B) He totally reminded me of my Pepaw. Understated, grunting and growling instead of speaking sentences... LoL. I really liked him, even though I wasn't supposed to. In my head, I totally saw Joaquin Phoenix as Warwick. I know, I know, just hear me out. Not hot sexy, I'd leave my husband for, SIGNS and THE VILLAGE, Joaquin. No, no. Scary, dirty, sad, but underneath we know there is something amazing, I'M A RAPPER, Joaquin. *sigh* yes, even through his nasty phase, I probably would have still left my husband for him. shhhhh... thats just between us though. haha.
Red, omgosh, Red. I loved her. LOVED her. She made me think of the little girl they saved in Aliens. All crazy looking and in the end the smartest one in the bunch and steps up to the plate to save the day. She was just awesome.
And as for the story...
Faeries are tricksie! Bottom line, and I don't want to say much more than that.
Well, that and I loved this book
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was surprised at how well the story was crafted and how easy it was to sympathize with the characters. I will certainly be going on to read the next one in the series.
It was fun and whimsical. Fairies everywhere. Scary, couldn't put it down. I thought Tanya was a smart and clever girl but her side kick was too weird. All in all a fun read.
My 10 year old says Took a really long time to get going. Slow in the beginning. Liked the mystery.
